Book Review--"This book fully captures the agony of dealing with the disease...This is another good addition to the Rosen series. Recommended."
- Carolyn Bason, Denton High School, Assoc. of Reg. XI School Librarians, Fort Worth, TX
These titles do a fine job of providing an overview of the covered diseases...Captioned illustrations of both b&w and color photos, along with interesting fact boxes are found throughout. Possible uses for these titles other than for disease research would be bibliotherapy for families and individuals dealing with these conditions, along with students who want more information for helping friends who ma have the conditions--Recommended -Douglas K.
